Healthy Summer Smoothies

“My favorite thing to add to cherry smoothies is fresh ginger because when it comes to adding oomph, there’s nothing oomph-ier than ginger” - Kiersten, Oh My Veggies

It’s peak season for sweet cherries so we simply couldn’t resist serving up another fresh cherry recipe. In the US, sweet cherries are mainly grown on the west coast, so they may not be local to your area but because they only grow in a certain climate and are very perishable, it's unlikely those fresh cherries are coming from halfway around the world. Even if you’re a Locavore, when you see fresh cherries at the market in mid-summer, go ahead and indulge!

This Cherry-Ginger Smoothie is a unique way to enjoy the powerful health benefits of fresh cherries. Get the recipe, plus a clever trick for pitting cherries without a cherry pitter, at Oh My Veggies. While you’re there, be sure to enter our current giveaway!
